: Black Pearl Stripper

: I've looked at this thing a couple of different ways and think I
: have a good number to order including waste

: 10 - 1 x 4 x 10 = 100 10' strips 1000'
: 14 - 1 x 4 x 8 = 140 8' strips 1120'

: The strips are 1/4" wide plus 1/8" for the saw blade =
: 3/8
: I will get 10 pieces out of a 1x4 minus breaks, knots, and bad
: cuts.

: Am I looking at this right?

Thw math looks right to me. Any particular reason you plan to use 1/4 strips? Many of us use 3/16 strips and are both happy with the strength as well as the additional flexibility for bending. Makes the wood go a bit farther.
